Thanks for the quick reply.
So the supplied tomcat load balancer isnt of any use for stateful sessions where the cluster
is spread accross several machines?

to paraphrase, you want to have it look like the same machine to the browser (ie user).
the easiest way is to use a hardware load balancer. I've use this approach a couple times
in the past and it works well.

Hi,
I'm currently testing a setup up on 3 machines.
2 have tomcat 5.0.19, these 2 are clustered with session replication and have a simple test
app.
The other, also 5.0.19, runs the supplied balancer app.
I've written a simple round robin rule which passes the requests back and forth as it should,
I can see the sessions being replicated fine in the logs so all is ok there.
BUT my problem is accessing the same session on both machines. Basically I'm stumped, I know
its not accessing the same session because the redirected URL is different but how can I get
around this?
I've tried a using an HTML frame on the balancer machine but that was clutching at straws
and obviously didnt work.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
